My friends Bob and Sheryl Willson are avid entertainers, so when Earth Day rolled around they saw it as a perfect excuse to throw a party. It was also a chance for Bob to show off his new, state-of-the-art solar electricity-generating system. He took us on a tour of his basement, pointing out the neatly labeled meters that show how much power the solar panels generate each day and how much CO2 was saved. There's also a PECO meter that essentially runs backward, showing how much power the farm "sells" back to the utility.
Bob says the experience has helped in his law practice assisting municipalities craft their new green ordinances (solar, wind and geothermal) and helping clients contract for their own green installations.
Oh, and the party? Great company and great food, especially Bob's classic mac-and-cheese.
